Thanks Greg for the information, I will wait till i am there to book. Lets see if I meet a girl I want to bring with me. I would hate to be there alone in Boracay. I want to do some humping. hehe
Super Steve, I just got my flight with China Airlines for $967 from LAX to Manila and booked with US airways from Phoenix to LAX for $120.
It was the cheapest flights I could find about a week ago. I hope the price does not go down again or I will be kicking myself.

It's on the island of Puerto Galera. It's just 2 hours by taxi to Batangas, then a 1 hour ferry to Sabang. Beautiful beaches, excellent diving/snorkeling....and there's a half-dozen girlie bars there (1000p barfine + 1000p tip). Boracay has no girlie bars, only freelancers @ 3000p.
If you want beach paradise + mongering in Phils, it's the place.

Sort of a last minute thing, but I found myself with a week of vacation and nowhere to go. Made a last minute reservation on the 20th for a flight to Manila on the 21st. Just arrived this morning staying at the G-Hotel on Roxas Blvd. Think I'm going to snooze for a bit, then figure out what to do for the afternoon.
First time here for me (didn't have too much time to do a lot of research either, but the forum was a great help), so if anyone wants to have a beer, let me know. Anyways, I'm hoping I can have enough fun out here to put together an interesting trip report!
I just purchased my airfare from Houston to Manila with Continental to San Fran and China air to Taipia/Manila. I checked and was surprised to find I had about 50k mileage with China. It was enough to up-grade to bizness class for the Pacific leg of my trip!!!! SWEET! Oh by the way I paid $1476!! ouch!
[quote=sixteenvolt182]i just booked with china airlines for may 17-may31, i traveled with them before and loved the girls and the tv in the seat it makes that 13 hour flight much more bearable when you can watch a lot of movies on the flight.
i am going to stay in makati city, i am thinking of the durban inn, great eastern or sunset tower. i stayed at the city garden hotel last time, but they are more expensive. anyone have any opinions on any of the 3 i mentioned?
i am looking to bring a lot of girls back to the hotel with the least amount of hassle also.
anyone have any suggestions on booking a small trip when i am there to boracay. i heard if you book in from the usa they will [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123][CodeWord123][/url] you on the price.
would you suggest booking before i get there or wait until i am already there?
how about the girl opportunitys in boracay? or should i bring a girl with?
thanks for any info. if anyone is there when i am there also, maybe we can meet up.[/quote]i think your questions have been adequately addressed by other guys with more ph knowledge and experience than me. but i'll add my two cents' worth. i went to ph for the first time in june, 2008. stayed a night or two in manila then boracay for 5. 6 nights. regrettably, i didn't bring a girl with me to boracay. big mistake. there were almost no wg's / p4p opportunities that i could c. it is not a place to go alone without a chick. i did one free-lancer one time the entire time i was there. of the few providers walking around offering p4p, i'd estimate that 50% were ts / lady boys.
my going there without a "companion" was shocking news to every local i encountered. when i checked into the hotel, the women staff asked me in total surprise, "where is your companion? you're alone?! " the activities shop manager felt bad for me and offered to hook me up with his god daughter, a local shop girl. the boatman whose boat i rented, offered to bring his niece over from the mainland to accompany me for the week. even my hotel staff told me they hated seeing me alone, and offered to introduce me to their friend who worked in another hotel. people seemed genuinely surprised and concerned for me that i had come to boracay without a companion.
i had no problem booking a mnl-boracay-mnl flight a week or two ahead of time, but fridays-weekends seemed to fill up in advance, and i understand that holidays can be book up weeks. months in advance.
i loved boracay. it's a great place to relax. the better hotels along the beach have very good wifi, so i could work near or on the beach on my laptop a few hours every day, which was wonderful.
[quote=chocha monger]if you just want pussy stay in manila. the girls in ac are cheaper but are more hit and miss. definitely stay away from the dia girls. many have crab louse encrusted pubes, are ladyboys, scammers or ****, and none have medical exams. don't take risks to save on barfines by rubbing pennies and using dia.[/quote]chocha monger,
i've only had one previous trip to ph (manila and boracay), and did only two chicks, one from la cafe, and one street wg in boracay. for my upcoming second trip to ph, i plan to try 4. 5 cities over 3. 4 weeks, and i'd hoped to use dia for some of my action. i joined dia a few days ago. i've read some pretty positive comments about dia from several posters in various isg forums. with the obvious caveats about scammers, lady boys, ****, etc. your comments are the most negative i've seen about dia. could you elaborate? i'm not disagreeing, as i'm a dia newbie and don't have an opinion about dia either way. for my education, i'd love to hear more about dia issues / caveats. do you really think the potential for crabs or std's is less with bar girls from angeles or girls from la cafe, for example? i was hoping. perhaps naively. that dia semi-pro's or non-pro's might be less likely to have std's.
thanks in advance for your additional thoughts on this.

if by scamming you mean trying to seperate you from your money, then surely that is the underlying principle of most pinays, whether they are pros or not. even a non pro respectable girl will inevitably end up costing you probably more than you will pay for p4p in the long run.
i am assuming your remarks are based on the following post which you have used to quote before, but you seem to have grossly exaggerated one of the poster's comments so that now in your opinion, many of the dia girls have diseases. that is certainly not what the poster was saying :

maybe i am wrong and you have personally had a bad experience from one or two of the girls on dia that have in turn tainted your perceptions. if that is the case then i hope you managed to get rid of your pubic lice without too much difficulty?
below are posters with more balanced and positive views:

[QUOTE=Mortman]Just read your review of DIA.[/QUOTE]LOL. You guys are so funny. Knowing the writing style of the member, don't you realize that CM's comments were not meant to be interpreted literally but was a pisstake on the post, a short while before, that you linked in your report.
When I read CM's caustic comments, I had to laugh as I often do at the world weary, amusing, battle scarred, cynical old bastard comments frequently made in the posts of this excellent contributor. He doesn't offer much solid info but does give a lot of laughs.
They sure make a change from the 'reports' of another member who now prefaces every post with a sulky little snipe, although that is hilarious as well, although in a sad way.
P. S Why is this on the Travel Plans and Announcements thread?
If CM's post was meant to be a pisstake on the other poster's comments, he did not make any reference to the other poster in his remarks and it would be difficult for anyone to make that connection. If I am wrong and have misjudged CM then I unreservedly apologise to him. You are right that this is not really the appropriate thread to have this discussion, I was just responding to CM's comments in this particular thread.

[QUOTE=SixteenVolt182]Hey guys,
I am planing to visit Makati in May 14-31. I am looking into flights now, from Phoenix to Manila. They are going for around $1100 right now. Do you think I should buy right away? do you think the prices will go up? I think it is still early now, but I am afraid the prices might go up a lot soon. Since some of you go to ph a lot I was wondering if you had any advice.
I flew with China Airlines last time, it was great, I love the TV in the seat.[/QUOTE]To Sixteen volt
Try cathay pacific they have 5 flight a day from california 2 from SFO and 3 from LAX transfer in Hong Kong and 7 flight a day from HK to Manila, ticket is about 900 USD round trip from LAX, service is better than China airline with your own tv also.
Fast Eddie 48
I'M coming to Manila in 4 days time. Arr evening of Wed 31st and Leaving Saturday night 3rd. No Hotel booked yet, but I assume Makati.
Not my first trip, but my first solo trip if you get my drift.
Australian but I have lived in the US and been to Asia 40 times, but Phil only once before. Wouldn't mind a wingman or two. Or just a friendly beer. I'm not a big drinker but enjoy a few laughs.
I have finally decided to make my first trip to Angeles for my 1st half vacation this year. Normally I will go to Thailand (Bangkok or Pattaya). I have read extensively in this forum and have gathered some great information. Also to several members who have replied to my queries.....Thank you.
I need some advise as to make my final choice of accommodation.....I have short-listed down to the following:
(1) Perimeter Hotel
(2) Royal Amsterdam
(3) Swiss Chalet
I am not much of a drinker and so the drinking part is not important to me. However, I want to be near lots of girls who are not "harden" (like those found in Soi Cowboy (Bangkok) or Walking Street (Pattaya)), and of course easily accessible to A Santos.
Further, I understand that May 10 will be the election for The Philippines. Does this have any bearing on the number of girls available in Angeles. Given the fact that they might do their national duties of casting their votes back in their home town.
Hope to hear some advise from members on this forum.
Cheers

Royal Amsterdam is in the heart of fields, fairly close to Santos but a 15 minute walk to the the start of the perimeter area.
Swiss is also in the heart of fields but down a side road so you can bring back girls rather more discretely. The place is well priced but rather dated and has horrible foam mattresses.
If you want to stay closer to Perimeter Rd then i would suggest the Euroasia hotel - great pool and the rooms are ok
Thanks for the feedback, Prince2.
I am beginning to lean towards Royal Amsterdam (RA) given its location and the positive feedback from ISG members and travel review sites such as "TripAdvisor".
BTW when you say 15 minutes walk, for me that would translate to approximately 2.5km. Is that a close estimation of the distance from RA to the beginning of Perimeter area? So if I pull a girl from the Perimeter bar back to RA, that should be quite safe to walk in the early evening?
Any members here who might have some observations on RA or "things to watch out for" if I were to stay there? I would appreciate very much your feedback and advise.
I am counting the days as my air tickets have been issued!!!!!
Cheers
